1) The first link I found by specifically researching math scratches that contained Algebra 2 concepts. Systems of Linear Equations can be differentiated by using this technology as a game. Although the game doesn't provide methods in solving systems, it reinforces the accuracy of locating the intersection. However, I believe students would appreciate bells and/or whistles when the Ninjas attack each other especially when they WIN. 2) I actually adored the xylophone scratch for 5th graders simply due to the fact that I was given the opportunity to play it as though it was a real instrument. I learned how to play a few songs when I was in kindergarten. Believe it or not I learned about fractions through rehearsals with my 4th grade band instructor. We spent many initial rehearsals focusing on the beats and tempo. I just appreciate the Arts! I found it very interesting how the pitch continuously modulated as different instruments played while you move the slider. What a neat idea!
